feat(quartz): tag-index uses raw values when fs-safe, _h_<hash> otherwise

idx/tag/<name>/ used to bucket every tag value under a 16-hex Murmur
hash, so `ls idx/tag/p/` showed opaque hex even though pubkey values
are perfectly safe filenames. Now the directory name is:

  - the raw tag value, when it's filesystem-safe across Linux/macOS/
    Windows: 1..180 bytes, printable ASCII (0x21..0x7e), none of
    `/ \ : * ? " < > |`, no leading dot or `_h_`, no trailing dot/space;
  - otherwise `_h_<hashHex(murmur)>`. The `_h_` sentinel can never
    collide with a raw value (raw values are forbidden from starting
    with it), so both forms safely live in the same parent dir.

Common cases keep their raw form and become directly inspectable:

  ls idx/tag/p/<your_pubkey>/      — every event that p-tagged you
  ls idx/tag/e/<event_id>/         — replies / reactions to an event
  ls idx/tag/t/nostr/              — every kind-1 with #nostr
  ls idx/tag/k/30023/              — k-tag pointers to articles
  ls idx/tag/g/drt3n/              — geohash mentions

Routes through the _h_ bucket: emojis, URLs (slashes), `a`-tags
(colons), free-form `alt` text, anything ≥ 180 bytes, anything that
breaks Windows reserved-name rules. The hash is still seed-salted
Murmur64 (parity with the previous bucket), so collisions are caught
by FilterMatcher post-filter just like before.

Writer (FsIndexer.pathsFor) and reader (FsQueryPlanner.firstTagKey)
both route through FsLayout.tagValueDirName, so they always agree.

Tests: 5 new in FsQueryTest covering raw ASCII tags landing under
named dirs, p-tag pubkeys keeping their raw form, emoji and URL tags
falling back to _h_, and round-trip queries hitting both buckets
correctly. 122 fs tests green.

No migration: existing stores must `amy store scrub` once after the
upgrade — old purely-hashed tag dirs become unreachable, and scrub
rebuilds idx/ from canonicals using the new naming.
